- Spread protein intake across 3-4 meals
- Quality sources: lean meats, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, legumes
## Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Include daily:
- Fatty fish (salmon, sardines)
- Colorful vegetables
- Berries and citrus fruits
- Olive oil and avocado
- Turmeric and ginger
## Foods to Minimize
- Processed and ultra-processed foods
- Added sugars and sweetened beverages
- Excessive alcohol
- Trans fats and seed oils
## Hydration
- Aim for half your body weight in ounces daily
- Increase during exercise or hot weather
- Consider electrolyte supplementation
## Meal Timing
For GLP-1 patients:
